This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Evo, the aarakocra will respond on its turn. Your sacred magic scalds the creature although this seems mild compared to what the flittering spirit valkyries do to it. The pterafolk cannot evade the flames nor do anything about the guardians. It screeches out in pain. (-22)
((the save/damage from the guardians happen at the start of the pterafolk's turn, but I made it all at once for ease))
Got-ipede stays nimble on its legs as he scuttles across the ceiling above Azaka. He does not see any shafts connecting upwards as of yet in this particular section of the cave although there is a wall blocking his view to that next section where the remaining pterafolk is.
Evo, you notice that the aarakocra is male. His wrists, ankles, and beak are bound with rope, and he has no weapons. He starts to struggle and wriggle around, making gagging bird noises (whatever that is!) trying to escape the gag and ties. He will specifically try and escape the wrist ties, trying with all his might to break free. 13 and he does not break the ropes.
The injured pterafolk starts to scream and shriek as loud as it can. It moves over to what Evo can now see is another chimney and starts to speak, in common "CAWWW INTRUDERS!! CAW! CAW! INTRUDERS!! CAW!! CAW!!!" this pterafolk is using it's turn to try and yell up the chimney to the top of the tower apparently trying to warn more of them. I will roll a d20 to determine how loud this is and will be compared against the pterafolk's passive perception. 12
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Alton will move until here can safely aim at the final pterafolk without it gaining any benefits from cover. He can even use his bonus action to dash if need be to reach that position. He as a light foot halfling can also move through the space of any creature at least a size large than him if that comes into play.
Then, he will throw his third and final +1 dagger, hoping to finish the creature off. Sneak attack should be applicable because Azaka is within 5 feet of the pterafolk.
Attack: 13 Damage: 8
Sneak Attack: 12
Should the attack hit, it is a total of 22 magical piercing damage.
“Yes!!...Yep yep yep!....”, exclaims Phillip, seeing Alton dash in looking like he’ll finish off the last pterafolk...
Concerned that it may have managed to raise the alarm in a very loud voice moments earlier, Phillip moves to the doorway of the room with the fire and uses “Geyser“ from his decanter of endless water to douse the light entirely ((action and bonus action)), calling out “I suspect we’ll have more of those things incoming!! Uh huh, uh huh!... ...I’m dousing the light!.... Keep you’re eyes peeled!!”.
If he can, he ‘thinks’ to Eku, “Anything coming??!”. Then he moves back down the corridor, towards the mouth of the cave, as far as he can with the rest of his movement.
Alton, you scoot through the passage past Evo and find an opening. You chuck your last dagger and it flies end over end in the air, making a faint flicking sound each time the blade rotates as it embeds into the pterafolk's skull, killing it.
Phillip moves into the cave and puts out the fire. It sizzles and the smoke fills the chambers and then bellows out the mouth of the cave. Phillip then moves as much as he can closer to the mouth.
Eku yells out in response to Phillip"Not yet, but that screeching was loud. Prepare yourselves. I sense more danger. I will scout ahead." She then zooms up in the air to the top of the tower. It's 50ft up. She then starts to communicate telepathically to Phillip. "There's more, and they are riled up. I shall stall them." she explains as much of what she sees to Phillip telepathically for her turn and I've uncovered the map accordingly. Details will have to wait until someone actually gets up there and checks things out. The pterafolk with the crown looks different than the other pterafolk she would've explained. The pterafolk not on the 'ground' are in the air.
So level 4 is 50 ft up from level 3. Eku did not try to hide from them as she's in mid air and she's going to try and distract them/kill them. They see her (and they did hear the other pterafolk's screeching). She flies back down 20 ft with her remaining movement and then takes evasive actions if need be..
((there is no ladder going up to the 4th level - just that chimney which is similar to the other ones. It has footholds and goes up 50 ft to the pinnacle. The height at level 3 is approximately 240 ft, and the level 4 pinnacle is approximately 300ft high))
Evo moves out of the cave to the edge. If you check out the 4th level map, he cannot see any of the pterafolk yet as they haven't crossed that viewline let, so the silvery blue mace appears to the north of him.
Azaka yells out to Evo "Do we know how many are at the top? My mask is up there... I know it!" she then turns to the aarakocra and takes the gag out of its beak. She does not break the ropes free. She says: "Who are you? How many are up there? RROOOAAAARRRRRRR and if you cross us you won't live to see the bottom of this tower."
Got-ipedescuttles over to the angry Azaka, and spotting the chimney, taps her with a few legs and scuttles in its direction, before pausing and looking back.
If she seems inclined to use scurry up it with him, he'll dash up the chimney (should be able to get ~halfway up?), if she's too preoccupied, he'll dash back out towards Evo and drop his centipede form (should be able to get between Evo and Philip?).
Got-ipede, Azaka would make another loud "RRROOAARRRRR" in the aarakocra's face as if warning it again to not cross her, and then looks at Got-ipede suggesting she will follow. So - I also have Got-ipede making it exactly half way up the chimney. So you are in the middle of level 3 and 4 and there's 25 feet remaining until you reach the opening on level 4. (I made your icon small on the L4 map)
The aarakocra starts speaking "caw! Caw! caw! CAW! CAAAA! EEE EEE EEE EEE Caw caw CAWCAWCAW"(unless anyone around him speaks aarakocra or auran? Eku would understand him, but she's in the heat of battle and not thinking about that aarakocra right now. I'm not sure she even saw him yet.) And it tries to break free of the ropes again. STR 10 and it continues to struggle.
((Anyone climbing the chimney to the fourth level needs to make an athletics check if they aren't under the influence of magic or they don't have climbing speed!))
sorry, taking me a bit longer to get this map set up. I am going to add labels to show the position of the air based icons (ie. how far they are away from the top in mid air. for instance, Eku is currently 20ft from the top, dodging)
stay tuned

You don't know the result of the screams.
Alton is up!
Map is updated.
*the pterafolk will not fit up that chimney.
((Isn't Azaka up? She needs to shut this pterafolk up...))
*Phillip could also queue his turn! He is slotted after Alton, and then Eku finishes the round.
Yep! I just realized I missed her! She's after Evo, so that scream for help might not happen...... ->
A loud "RRROOOAAARRRR" fills the cave once more. Azaka charges past Evo and tries to rip apart the last pterafolk.
Attack: 20 Damage: 7
Attack: 23 Damage: 8
she's overconfident. The creature manages to avoid both claws even after Evo's magic.
Ok - please continue and SORRY!! (Alton, Phillip, Eku)
Map updated again.
"Got a prisoner here!"
Phillip calls back, “A prisoner?! Oh my, oh my!.... Are they alive? Uh huh?.. What are they saying?...”. ((I’ll post a proper turn after Alton goes)).

Round 3: Evo, Azaka, Got-ipede, Aarakocra, Pterafolk, Alton, Phillip, Eku
Evo is up!
All maps updated!
((AIR COMBAT!))
((No ladder up that we are aware of?))
"Eku, bring them down toward meh!"
Evo will run out of the cave to the spot just south of the ladder and looks up for a pterafolk. If he sees one or not he'll yell,
"Come and get meh ye ugly bats!"
If he does see a pterafolk from below he'll guiding bolt it.
Attack: 16 Damage: 18

Oh, and if Evo can't see any of them he will instead plop a spiritual weapon north of himself in the form of a silvery blue mace.
